Cornerstone Address, Father Delihant delivered the ecornar- | stone address, speaking as follows: ! In the midst of the activities that sur- rourd man, it is difficult to know just !whnt is worthy of his best endeaver, 1 1 just what is a fitting object for the ut- most labor of his hands and heart, the tribute of his sweat and his tears fand his blood. As we follow the pages of his- itory, we see that even nations, with | their foundations laid deep in turies, Pave their day and vass, just as the indivijual. They pass into ob- i livion and the sands of the desert sweep over the foundations of their senate their memory and name through the leg- acy of flesh and blood to others—men strive for this, but often your children and great-grandchildren spurn your grave and thelr lives would bring tears to your eyes, save that thev are sizhtiess in the erave. Heap up treasures of earth—why the moth and the rust consume and the robber steals such things. Men strive for honor, but vraise from men changes into hate as quickly as the light will die out of that evening sky. Men buile great. bridges, -paint. wonderful ' pictures and carve statues that men will admire for centuries. ‘Men zo down Into the denths of the sea and un_into.the’heay- ens,” but’ some da¥, their bridges. will sink into the dry bed of the river, and their picfures ‘and. their statues -and their ‘avplications of ‘science wiil be rall- ed up iike-a scroll and’ flung into the fire to be burned with the passine.away of the wind: Then men try tp build. their little houses of glass and stone so far up out' of the way of the waves of. the sea’of timo that they think no' change can ‘come. but'some day i wWave - i heir hands ‘have Then thev turn away in.wearlifess form to ‘things that -hand ‘and gram achieve, -and thev -labor ‘and théy- strive like the- Jittle-bird building its nest, to Ppiece _together “its "home. of -love, ‘but oh,’ the pity. of it tHat just as the storm and the rain can_tear 10 nieces the nest in the tree-top, so -the storms of passien wreck the love nest, too. But today vou are puttinz.vour hands to a work that will defy ‘the Tavages:of time—the rust and the moth an never onnsume nor the robber steal ifs. worth. You are linkinz time, -as. we know it | that ever changes. with eternity that | moas on forever. ~All the untoward events of life, all the #nhappy circumstances that steal in and snoil the ripening har- vest, can mever touch vour field. So it was in the nast that men, weary of all the things that change so quickly, said to themselves, “We will build a_great tower and we will o un into Heaven where Gal i3 where things do -¥ot change.” But no, man cannot enter Heaven until God wills it, so God foiled thelr worl and their tower became a tower of Babsl, a confusion. But you are building more surely. You are building here a zate of Heaven by which to await God's good will, zood pleasure, for that is what Holy Scripture calls the Church of God. the gate of heaven, and dwelling here by the rate, vou will catch a zlimpse of the beauties and won- ders within the gate. As rou bring vour little ones here for the waters of bap- tism, 1 think as thev become children of ! God and heirs of heaven, you will feel the stir of the angels’ wings as. God's servans come out to claim them-as His own and clothe them with the .robe of Christ. And when vou have sinned and vou come here with hanging head. and aragginz feet to ask His pardon in the sacrament ‘of penance, you will feel that, heaven is very mnear to vou-as- Christ stoops. down and, takes you in_ His arms and leans His head on vour breast and whl-pers to-you that it is all forgiven and | REV.

'And. then some day as yen stand at fhe altar and take the one that you. love as_your own, in the holy sacra- ment of matrimony, you feel that a little i bit of heaven has come to earth that day. Ah, but I will tell you of the day when the gates will seem open the wid-| est to let you see.the. glories. beyond— it is when your ®oy, who is only a little | baby now, will say his first mass on | the altar here, and as the great waves of joy and exultation will rofl’threugh the ! gate and touch the heart of father er j mother, you will know what the ‘ioy: of heaven is better than other men. And then when you are old and weary and your children are dead, and husbana or wife dead, and everything has fallen from your hands and your hearts save meniories, when all you love is there be- yond =the gate and- you. wait .for the gate to open for you—other people wro! are strong in their truth and their love will pity vou, pity vour loneliness, ‘they do not understand that it is never lons- 1y here By the gate with Christ. “And then -you will-come here with all-that.| vou love, to accompany them. on the.first stage of the journey home. You will say goodbye to them ,here at the zate of heaven—and it 'is always hard to = say Zoodbye. So' dear people, you are build- ing here & _house, of joy and a house of tears, but the wonderful thing is'that the tears that you..will-shed here will . be turned inte joy. That js the: message that your cross:will always speak to.you as it lifts. itself ‘up into - the sky—first the cross; and then the crown. We. must all suffer for a litfle while. This church must ke your mountain ‘where. you. can climb and. look” out into the land whith- er you are.tending. .

And vet We know the ending of fhat story; a lonely grave by" the side of ‘the trail, with their lit- tie babies on their breasts, marks their home-coming. It is alwavs the way with these earth- 1y hones of ours. I remember in France many. a boy who used to talk about his home-coming, the only homescoming. that. came to him Was the thought that his mother had as the other boys came down the old familiar street. I remember in France, we had ‘just come out of the Argonne and I zot a letter from a wo- man in the states. She told me that her husband belonged to mfy ‘regiment: she said that he had always been eager for a baby boy, and tnat God had sent them onhe. She had cabled and written but she had received no answer. She asked me to see him and tell him. I went over to his battalion, and ‘as I mot into the little town—vou bovs remember them 80 well a cafe and a blacksmith shop and a long, gray piece of road—a company came marching down the road. I asked a soldier what company it He said, i | “Company C, T said.’,"Where is the captain?’ He said. “Didn’t vou know. he was ki d in the Argonne the other day.” That is the way our ‘dreams But today "vou are building a_réfuge from all this change and disap- pointment; vou are building against loss and pain and sorrow, and even death. Yew-are -building “vourselves a~nlace~of refuge 'whose foundation -is: God. You are'buildinz a refuge for vourselves even against your weakness and merhaps your sin. For'if there is one math the church of “Jesus Christ makes plain it is_the path ‘of repentance, ‘the path of ‘the con- féskional, where’ vou' can’ Jay - vour- sing at ‘the-feet of the forwiving .Christ and make another start todav, not” burdened with the sins of vesterda You are building vourselves a city of hepe ‘where promises’ will never-afll.

We have asked for sympathy and ‘men have misunderstood’ us. ~We have asked for love and ‘we.have been But here we have God's nromise: “Ask and - ve shall receive” And we have sought for so mueh without the temple's walls, and we did not find, and:in the search we have gone so far afield. Most of the thinzs we sought were like the pot of gold that childhood’s fancy burfes at the rainbow’s feet, and if we found wnat seemed to be a golden answer.we had only to breathe upon it -and held it .in rhese human hands and it turned to tin- sen. But God promises that what we seek for here we will find, and ;we have not. open. Ye have knocked at the door of happiness, the door of peace, the door of health, but ‘the only. answer to our knocking was the empty echo, of failure 2nd ' disappointment. But God: promises that if we knock at the door of this tem- ple ‘it shall be opened. That is what vour church must stand for: Hope, buoyant hope, because Christ is_strogz enough to keen His promise and He promises that just*bevondthe gate He will pive us back the thingsiwe leave ! behind ;- the ‘things we ‘passed by in .our ‘carelessness and indifference; that we learned to'love too late; the things that - God, in His wisdom, took from us we-should speil them; the things that we killed by our folly and. our sin. God promises He will zive them back-to us beautiful, purified, glorified, immortal- ized. That {s what-yonr church must mean.: Hope that is strong with all'the sirefigth of Christ. Hove' that i3 strong in.the love ‘with fall the love and power and“wisdom of Christ caneveniisee loss and: pain-and suffering coming down the road towards it and yet opening its arms in-trust.

During your years of residence in Norwich your have endearéd yourself to the citizens of this community by your willingneess at all times to render your services whenever called upon for tiie rromotion of the best intesests to our city. A tew months ago on the »Ieirion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of ‘his parish, you called upon the people of ovr city for a building fund. The appeal was met with a ready response from all classes. irrespective nf creel. Th must have been very gratifyingto you and has made-possible the laying of the| ernoon. T am sure upon its combletion | this building is going to b2 one of which| you and your parish may well feel proud. Bishop Nilan Speaks Briefly. Bishop Nilan closed the = exercises, | speaking briefly but impressively, as he bore tribute to the great achievement of the parish in raising \he funds for the new church, its people giving such a re-1 sponse as had never before beem neard of in the diocese. The old chur:h bad prospered under many difficulties and surely God w1 bless the new. Here may its people ever show true faith, the fear of God end brotherly love. The. second short shower of tne aft- efficon came up while the Bishop was speaking but he proceeded without in- terruption, thoygh many in the crowd as they could find. A collection was taken, which :eached a génerous amount. Those Wwho passed through the crowd with the collcters' baskets were Wm. H. Bowen, Joseph P. Ir., James P. Walsh, Fgancis H. Morrison, Philip P. Leeney, J 7 Barry, Thomas J. Sullivan, Patrick F. Sullivan, Cornelius J. Downes, 1eorge H. Dolan, Joseph A. Donnelly, joseph R. Portelance. Members of the common councll and of the town government had seats near the speakers' stand. Buntlng was used in the -decoration of the grounds and the American flag Was flying from the staff on the rectory lawn. Dinner for the priests was servad at the rectory after the exercises, the. ta- bles being set on’ the porch aad in the house. Solemn High Mass. Solemn high mass was cslebratad at St. Mary's church at 10.30 Sunday morning In connection witii the corner- stone layirg. The church hald one cf the “largest congregations ever seen there. Rev. M. J. Byrne of Atanta, Ga., was celebrant, Rev. John I X. Pine, S. J. deacon, Rev. Wm. iT. Ken- nedy, subdeacon and Rev. Willlam A. Keefe, master of ceremonies. PATRIOTIC MESSAGE IN BAPTIST PASTOR'S SERMON Rev. David A, Pitt. D. D.. pastor ot the Central Baptist church, in his ser- mon Sunday evening, on America, the Blessed and the Blessing. urged a sreat- er conception of- the divine will of God as it car be seen in the history of to- day. The speaker said that God called upon Abraham to lead his peonle to the land of milk and honev, Palestine, and did not he likewise call upon John Roh- inson to lead that little band of pil- grims to America? Is not there a re- markable similarity in-the two? Pales- tile was. the land of milk and honey but America is the granery of the world. I believe we shoul sec the hand bf God in the founding-of America and its his- tory as well as in the old world. We should see God in everything and not only- in_the Bible. A littls boy was once asked who was the greater man, Moses or Lincoln, -and he replied, “Lincoln, because he aid thines alone.and was not helped by God as Moses was.” That is as far as relizion goes wijth _some peonle. After the Bible is ‘cloged they cannot see the works of God. We need a new voint of view in the schools, the home and even In the church, God has blessed the world In giving Christ’ to us and we are wonderfully Dlessed i America. America 2s has antly been said is the land of the sec- ond chance.’ In the old world those who are born on the first.fioor of life live and die on the first floor: but in America if can top floor and view the world. - This -is an opportunity found only here.. Peonle from ‘the turmoil of the old world come to America, the melt- ing pot of the world, and through = wonderful transformation in which they Fain new life and ideals they are made Americans. Since the war America has been blessed with a new vatriotism and a new outlook. The great. teachings of the church are being viewed and accepted br the state and are becoming international. The teachings of Christ are the World's Gos- pel. The zolden rule is being recognized through the world. America is rich in money and rich in men and let us hear the call of Christ and as they said over there, “dig in.” climb to the RATLROAD WAGE CUTS IN EFFECT AT ONCE W a reductions on the New Haven road ordered by the railroad labor board, were effective beginning Satur- day, it was announced at the local railroad: offices.
